नमस्ते, पुलियाबाज़ी में आज हम एक हटके विषय पर चर्चा करेंगे—युद्ध में हाथियों का प्रयोग। यह विषय हमें काफी इंटरेस्टिंग लगा, तो हमने सोचा कि क्यों न इस पर आदित्य रामनाथन से बात की जाए। आदित्य तक्षशिला इंस्टीटूशन के साथ एसोसिएट फैलो हैं और मिलिटरी हिस्ट्री में गहरी दिलचस्पी रखते हैं। इस पुलियाबाज़ी पर चर्चा इतिहास के उस दौर की जब भारत एक ‘आर्म्स एक्सपोर्टर’ हुआ करता था। भारत के हाथी और उनको काबू में करने वाले महाउत दुनियाभर में मशहूर थे। समय के साथ टेक्नोलॉजी में आये बदलाव से युद्ध का रूप भी बदल गया। क्या इस बदलाव में भारत कहीं पीछे छूट गया? इतिहास से हम क्या सीख ले सकते हैं?

अगर आपको हिस्ट्री और मिलिटरी हिस्ट्री में दिलचस्पी है, तो आपको यह पुलियाबाज़ी ज़रूर पसंद आएगी।

We discuss:

* Was India an arms exporter in the ancient world?

* How were elephants used in a war?

* Where did war elephants come from?

* What do we know about elephants in ancient India?

* Were elephants an obsolete platform?

* Was there a political purpose of elephants

* Defence against elephants

* When were elephants phased out?

* Recommendations

Also, please note that Puliyabaazi is now available on Youtube with video.
